Wow, amazing...1001 hits already. More than the story I like but wtv. I've actually hit a major writer's block for that story so since people tend to like this one more, I'll work with this one for awhile. As for Sakura staying out of Itachi's Tsukiyomi, I explain that later. Better yet, let's see if you can guess. I'll explain a tiny bit. I'm tired of reading stories when Sakura fall's for the dark Naruto or avoids him entirely. So I decided to alternate it and make her more darker, as you can see.
And for those who support this story, I thank you. Before the story resumes, who should Hidan get paired with? It can be anybody, throw idea's at me because I don't want to make an OC. Really I don't. And I don't want to leave him alone because he's badass.
If the story feel's like it's progressing too fast don't worry, this is just the beginning. Myes. Forgot to mention, since this is 2008 and Naruto is no idiot, there will be random songs that appear to shapen Naruto's or Sakura's emotions. Or their wants. In this chapter SOULBURNER by AEON
Well, ONWARD (Gai pose and sunset genjutsu) HA YOU CANNOT DISPELL IT'S GREATNESS!
Naruto stalked around the his weapons room, smirking maliciously. 'Ok I can skewer all of them with my zanbatou' he thought looking at the giant sword that once belonged to Kisame. 'Won't he be suprised when I whip that at him and use it to tear out his organs!' Naruto's eye's started to glow red, getting excited from the impending blood bath that would end this otherwise distasteful evening. The racks of weapons ranged from kunai all the way up to high calibur sniper rifles. There wasn't a weapon Naruto didn't master in his 5000 year's of life. Naruto slipped on a pistol holder and slipped a .357 inside, other than that, he prefered the old fashioned way. He filled his shuriken and kunai holder's to the brim. Even though he was a demon, Akatsuki still had one advantage. Madara's Sharingan. Naruto personally had never been involved with it but he knew it controlled the first Kyuubi and it could probably do the same to him. Vaguely not caring, he smirked as he invisioned gutting Itachi's body, spilling everything inside on the ground for all to see. He wouldn't even let their souls have any freedom. The shinigami gave him the power to see souls and the ability to touch them. Or in Naruto's case, cause them extreme pain.
"I will enjoy this day! Then I'll destroy that infernal statue and rid me of this annoyance!" he shouted. Naruto walked over to the wall where a play button was located and pressed letting the sounds fill the room.

While he listened he packed all his weapons into scrolls, demonic chakra swirling around as he planned his masterpiece of destruction. 'Collateral damage is enevitable' he thought, hoping that some unlucky people would get in his way. As for Hidan...
"Kami have mercy on his soul, because mercy doesn't exist in this equation" he laughed.

Well, Sakura was having diffrent experiences, while she was thinking the same way, there was nothing she could do about it. She was bound with her arms behind her back, with Kisame's Samehada absorbing her chakra. All 8 of them were walking down a dark cavern, she was flanked on all sides. Escaping was out of the question, she had to go with them. Their hostage.
"Haruno-san" came Itachi's voice from behind her. Sakura didn't reply, she waited for him to speak again. "How were you immune to my genjutsu? No one has been able to cancel it, how did you?"
"That's my secret Uchiha" she said stoicly. "But I will tell you, the secret's of the Mangekyo aren't the only one's in your families estate."
Itachi visibly tensed up and narrowed his eye's at her's. He felt like he could see the back of her skull. 'Not even I'm that wierd' he thought then fell back into formation. Ahead of them, our little friend Tobi, who is now Madara in disguise was thinking about the conversation he just overheard.
'More secret's in the compound? How much did the rest of the clan hide from me before I returned?...No matter, I'll make her spill what she know's. After we take Kyuubi.'
Hidan walked with his arm's hanging of his sythe, which was balancing on his shoulers. He knew this was a bad idea..not Akatsuki but double-crossing Naruto. The two had spent 2000 years together. Hidan had started to see Naruto as a brother, but that was until he bumped into Pein. Somehow, he got involved again after they learned he was roomed with the Kyuubi. He sighed and tapped his fingers on the blades of the sythe, taking quick glaces at Sakura.
'Ah fuck man! He's going to owe me for this!'
Sakura noticed Hidan looking at her every so often. It was really creepy but outer Sakura didn't show it. But the inner one kept screaming to claw his eye's out. All she could do right now was walk and wait. They continued to walk for hours until they arrived at a familiar cavern. It was the same one, that Sakura and Chiyo-baasama fought Sasori. And there on the wall, stood a 100 foot statue with 8 of it's 9 eye's open.
"You've got to be kidding me" said Sakura under her breath.
"Ha! They are compensating!" yelled her inner.
'Didn't I tell you to be quiet?' but it had a dark chuckle underneath it.
"Yeah, but hey, I make you laugh...sometimes" she said meekly.
'Eh...'
"So what's the deal Madara-sama" said Kisame. "Let's get this show on the road!"
Madara threw a glare at Kisame signalling him to stay silent. "You know damn well, that it takes sometime to recharge! Without Kyuubi's chakra it isn't whole."
"Two shot's a day, then a two month recharge" said Hidan sitting on the nearest rock. Sakura looked over and saw his hand was in a akward position. It was an ANBU hand sign meaning Don't worry. This made Sakura confused, was it coincidence or was Hidan planning something. Sakura looked back over at Madara who was fiddling with something on the statue. "Just about time" he muttered. Sakura sighed and leaned on the rock Hidan was sitting on. She leaned on her left side and made a reply sign, I don't. She was starting to wonder if Hidan had seen it when she heard a snort of laughter. "You make me laugh" he said quietly. Before he could say anything Madara leaped from his perch on the statue and drew a circle with his foot.
"Well if your ready to ride" he said. Sakura eyed him but he grabbed her and threw her in the circle. Before she knew she was surrounded again. Soon a humming sound filled her ear's and was growing louder. Sakura looked at the statue and saw that the statues eye's were turning.
"This process is painfully slow" she complained. As she waited, a pink lock of hair fell in her eye's. Sighing, she blowed it out of the way, only to have it fall back into place. She made a throaty growl and blowed it again. She watched it start to move, then dissolve. Initial thought was too panic but then she realized the statue was taking effect, she looked down. Her boots were dissolving under her, but she felt like they were still there. Soon the bottome half of her was gone. Sakura looked around and saw the only one panicking was Kisame. But they were only small fidgets. She sighed and waited for the process to finish. When the dissolving process reached between where her mouth was and her nose she closed her eye's. The humming sound started to die down and a moment later it was done.
"Now how do we get out?" came Zetsu's voice. Madara chuckled, "First we take care of the hostage."
Sakura felt something hit her in the neck again. Only this time she was ready. It knocked her forward on her knee's but she quickly recovered and rose to her feet.
"You've gotten strong over the year's Haruno-san." said Itachi, "I congradulate you."
"Fuck off" she snarled at him. Only two thing's tested her patience and made her gain her anger emotions back. Perverts and Uchiha's. And currently the Uchiha patience was running thin. Very thin. Itachi's eye's cocked at her. "Language Haruno-san."
"Don't you have an Uchiha pity party to run off to?" she asked back to her monotone voice. She could see Itachi's hands clench in his Akatsuki robe. "Too bad I'm the hostage eh?"
Itachi's fist send her flying into Hidan. Almost impaling her on his sythe. Sakura smirked at Itachi. Her cold green eye's stared directly into his. Itachi could easily tell what they said. That is what caused your brother's death.
He stared for a moment longer then broke his gaze, "That may be so Haruno-san. But my brother was growing up to be a fool. To tell the truth, I'm sort of glad Naruto-kun took care of him."
"I can only imagine what he'll do to you" said Sakura. Itachi smirked and stared back at her again, "Not to sound cocky or Uchiha-ish as you would say, but the Sharingan protect's."
"It didn't protect Sasuke" she said with dark humorous tone. The Akatsuki member's watched the threat's pass between the two. No one belittled Itachi especially infront of a crowd.
"It doesn't matter, my little brother's Sharingan is no more" said Itachi ending the conversation. "Let's continue."
Before they started to move, Sakura made a throated chuckle. Sounding more evil then any woman on the planet. Even Konan made a mental note on how she did it.
"Uchiha...The secret's your family held were great, it's too bad you were too blinded by the Sharingan to truely see it like I have." she laughed. Itachi glared at Sakura who kept laughing. Wondering who here was more evil. Her or the organization.
"Somebody take care of her" said Itachi. Sakura stopped laughing as another fist pounded her to the ground.

Naruto sat in the living room of his apartment, feeling the chakra around him. He developed the jutsu when studying the Byakugan. The more he meditated on surrounding chakra, the more he could see it and find it. Trying to find Hidan was difficult but he eventually popped up five miles out of the city. Along with the rest of Akatsuki and another chakra signature. It seemed familiar but it was powerful. It made a few of the other member's seem like kitten's compared to theirs. Only 4 chakra signatures posed a threat. That powerful one, the other one he reconized as Madara, Uchiha Itachi, and Pein. He focused on the music and it hepled him concentrate as he saw that the other powerful chakra source was knocked unconcious.
"So he's not with Akatsuki...so who is he?" said Naruto to himself. Briefly losing concentration he listened to the music again. (Equinox by Heaven Shall Burn) He saw Hidan's chakra pick up the new comer and carry it off. Naruto figured it was to a place for holding but he soon realized Hidan was carrying it back into the city.
'Hidan what are you doing?'
Naruto's tails were starting to become more active as they entered the city. "Calm down!" He refocused his attention on the rest of the Akatsuki members. They seemed to be in the same area, but then they took off after Hidan. But Naruto smirked, Hidan was faster then them. Besides maybe Itachi.
'If you come here Hidan...I'm not going to make the rest of your life pleasant.' Naruto started to chuckle darkly, even in the complete darkness his glowing red eye's waited for the blood to come to him. Wanting Hidan's and the other person's for no apparent reason.
"It's been too long since I've tasted blood" he said smirking. "I wan- need it. Hidan will provide and bring's more to spare."
Naruto sat in the darkness and waited. The only thing visible in the dark apartment was his glowing eye's locked on the door.

Sakura felt like she was being thrown side to side. First off, it woke her up. Second it was annoying her, making her pissed. She felt the need to kill whatever was doing it until she opened her eye's. Only to see a sythe dangerously close to her face.
"Will you be careful with this thing!" she almost yelled at Hidan's stupidity. Hidan laughed, "You aparently kept the anger emotion!"
She looked around and saw the city underneath her blurring by fast. "Where are we, and where are you taking me?"
Hidan laughed again, "We're in the future, Welcome to Konohagakure year 2008! As for where we're going, I'm takin you back to my place."
"Great so I get to spent the night with the loud mouth Immortal" she mummbled. Hidan heard her and laughed again. "Naruto never said you were this funny! Hot damn, I hope he keeps you around."
"What do you mean Naruto, if this is the future shouldn't Naruto be dead?" she asked. Hidan cocked his head at her and raised an eyebrow, "Oh! that's right, you don't know."
"I don't know what?"
"You'll see" he said smiling.
o000o
The two shinobi were standing outside a pair of double doors while Hidan held a key shakily. Sakura stood across the hall with her back to the wall. "What's taking you so long?"
"Shh...he'll hear you."
"Who?"
"I said you'll see!" he said in a loud whisper. "He's going to kill me..."
Hidan placed the key inside the door and turned. The clicking was probably the loudest sound he's ever made in his life. And that's long. "Please Jashin! I'm sorry!"
He twisted the door handle and pulled the door open not even a millimeter before a demonic voice filled the hall way.
"Back so soon Hidan?" It asked with obvious bloodlust. The amount of killing intent leaking from the crack in the door kept Sakura frozen in place. 'Please don't open the door...let's go' she thought.
"Yeah, Listen buddy, it's not what it seems" Hidan choked. "Hmmm not what it seems? What does it seem like Hidan? Running off for Akatsuki again? Doesn't matter, I'm going to kill you and your little friend in the hall!"
Hidan made a nervous smile and looked at Sakura, "He's only playin around. He's-"
The double door's crashed open sending Hidan to the floor. A hand picked him up and slammed him into the wall.
"I'll show you playing around-" Naruto stared at the hooded figure next to Hidan. The smell coming off was the same as Sakura's. "N-N-Naruto-k-kun?" it asked shakily. Naruto cocked his head slowly and used his free hand to lift the hood from her face. "Sakura-chan?"
Yeah they meet early in the story but sensless chapter's of up until the meeting would have been pointless...to me.
I want honest's. Is a darker Sakura better than the normal or should she go back? If you say keep her, I definitly will. But if no, I'll change her back over time.
and the song part's will be few and far between so don't worry about that. Soon the main story will unfold itself so stick with it.
Peace,
Blood Rain
REVIEW DAMN IT!
